Did the Top 30 signals make money?
Every weekday at 8am ET we snapshot the TA scanner's Top 30 Bullish and Top 30 Bearish names. For each pick we record what we'd have paid for the ATM option ~30 days out — a call for bullish, a put for bearish. Thirty calendar days later we grade it against the actual underlying close and compute realized P&L per contract as (intrinsic − premium) × 100. This is the honest score of whether the signal captured directional P&L.
Cumulative realized P&L per contract
Running total across all graded days. Green = bullish (calls). Red = bearish (puts). Combined line = both together, position-sized 1:1.
Daily average P&L per contract
Per-day average P&L across the 30-name bucket. Wider swings early on are expected — the sample size grows with each grading day.

- Uses the option's mid price at snapshot time — no bid/ask slippage, no commissions, no fills.
- The scanner doesn't recommend buying options — the 30-DTE ATM assumption is a standardization so we can compare directional signal quality across names on the same basis.
- Sample sizes are small in the first few weeks. Read the numbers as directional, not decisive, until at least 60 graded days accumulate.
